13 Supervised Agriculture Experience Supervised Agricultural Experience Programs consist of planned practical activities conducted outside of class time in which student develop and apply agricultural knowledge and skills.

14 Supervised Agriculture Experience Purpose: Provide opportunities to creatively explore a variety of agriscience careers. Provide educational and practical experiences in a specialized area. Provide the opportunity to become established in an occupation. Provide opportunities for earning while learning.

15 Supervised Agriculture Experience Create opportunities for earning after graduation. Develop interests in additional areas. Develop valuable work skills; Keep records, fill out reports, follow instructions and regulations, contribute to your occupation. Permit individualized of instruction.

16 Supervised Agriculture Experience Permit recognition for individual achievement Become established in an agriscience business Obtain experience as an entrepreneur.

17 4 Types of SAE Exploratory Entrepreneurship Research/Experimentation Placement

18 Exploratory An exploratory supervised agriscience experience program conducts supervised activities to explore a variety of subjects about agriscience and careers in agriscience. Examples: investigations and experiences in small animal health, biotechnology, water rights, agricultural journalism, aquaculture, hydroponics, air pollution, crop science, tissue culture, agriculture engineering.

19 Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship supervised agriscience experience refers to activities conducted by students as owners or managers for profit. Examples: plant and animal enterprises where they grow commodities such as flowers, fruits, vegetables, field crops, turf grass, Christmas trees, nursery stock, forestry, small animals, wildlife, beef, sheep, swine, honey bees, earth worms.

20 Entrepreneurship Student plans, implements, operates and assumes financial risk in a farming activity or agricultural business. Student owns or rents them. Student keeps financial records. Student keeps profits or is responsible for losses.

21 Entrepreneurship Growing an acre of soybeans. Operating a Christmas tree farm. Raising a litter of pigs. Running a pay-to-fish operation. Growing bedding plants in the greenhouse and selling them. Operating a lawn care service.

22 Research/Experimentation The Research/Experimentation project is an original research project. It consists of identifying an agriscience problem, reviewing the scientific literature, applying the scientific method to the problem. Examples: research projects may be part of community improvement activities or state research efforts such as stream monitoring, weather watch, forest fire watch, crop scouting, insect or weed monitoring and crop reporting.

23 Research/Experimentation Designed for students who can t operate their own business or work for an Ag-business. Allows student to explore various career areas related to their agriculture career of their choice or associated with lessons taught in Ag classes. Allows students to become literate in agriculture.

24 Research/Experimentation Handout provided specific to your class. Choose an activity to conduct each month for a grade in class.

25 Placement Placement supervised agriscience experience programs place the student with an employer in a production unit such as a farm, ranch, green house, nursery, and aquaculture facility to produce commodities for wages. Or, the student is placed with an employer or mentor in an agency or agribusiness where commodities are bought and sold, or services are rendered.

26 Placement Students working in agribusiness or production farms, in laboratories, or community facilities. Outside normal classroom time. May be paid or unpaid hours.

27 Placement Working at a florist shop. Working at a farm supply store. Working at a riding stables. Working with a relative on their farm. Working in the school greenhouse on weekends, holidays, and after school.
